[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 509887, member: 27204"] Thanks, I have never heard of #selectedartist and #selectedalbum being supported GUI Properties. But I tried them (all the variations) and they didn't work. I only know of #selecteditem and #selecteditem2 (and sometimes #selecteditem3). However, the problem in tracks view is that only #selecteditem is supported because you define tracks (i.e #selecteditem) to list whatever you want - artist, album, track number, track etc. I wanted Tracks view to ALSO support #selecteditem2 (Artist name) and #selecteditem3 (Album name) which skinners could use if they wish (not required). This should be possible since #selecteditem and #selecteditem2 are defined differently in Artist and Album views. But then I don't know how the Music database code works. In any case, I think the answer is NO. Artist and Album can only be displayed in Track view as part of the list. I do know how to skin, a bit :) and my question was because I wanted to improve the Tracks view for aMPed 3.0. I did check MediaStream and it doesn't support it either. I kinda figure if MediaStream and streamedMP don't do it, it is not possible :) But thanks a lot for the discussion, it did help me understand it better. [/QUOTE]
